The Iranian desert, vast and golden, stretches beneath a sky so clear it feels eternal.
#hellohalloween The Iranian desert, vast and golden, stretches beneath a sky so clear it feels eternal. From the Dasht-e Kavir in the center to the Lut Desert in the southeast, it is a land shaped by time, wind, and sun. In the daytime, the dunes shimmer like molten gold; at night, the stars descend so close you could almost touch them.
Despite its silence, the desert is alive — with shifting sands, whispering winds, and hidden oases where palm trees rise like miracles. Travelers find beauty not in abundance, but in simplicity. The cracked earth tells stories of endurance; the breeze hums the song of ancient caravans.
In the desert of Iran, you learn that silence speaks louder than sound, and emptiness holds infinite meaning. It is not a place to cross quickly — it is a place to pause, breathe, and listen to the language of the earth.

#hellohalloween Iran’s diverse ecosystems are a result of its complex geography and climate. The country hosts 13 distinct climate zones, from humid subtropical regions near the Caspian Sea to arid deserts in the central plateau. The Hyrcanian forests, a UNESCO World Heritage site, are among the oldest broadleaf forests on Earth, dating back over 25 million years. Iran’s Lut Desert holds the record for the hottest ground temperature ever recorded — 70.7°C. Yet, despite these extremes, biodiversity thrives: over 8,000 plant species and hundreds of endemic animals, including the Persian leopard and the Asiatic cheetah. Iran’s landscape serves as a living laboratory of evolution and adaptation.The country hosts 13 distinct climate zones, from humid subtropical regions near the Caspian Sea to arid deserts in the central plateau.

Iran’s natural beauty is a breathtaking blend of contrasts.
#hellohalloween Iran’s natural beauty is a breathtaking blend of contrasts. From the snowcapped Alborz Mountains in the north to the golden dunes of the Lut Desert in the southeast, every corner tells a unique story. The lush Caspian forests shimmer with mist and birdsong, while turquoise rivers cut through fertile valleys. Spring brings carpets of wildflowers to the Zagros slopes, and autumn paints the Hyrcanian woods in amber and crimson. Even in the harshest deserts, life thrives — lizards, camels, and resilient shrubs flourish under the blazing sun. Nature in Iran is not just scenery; it is emotion, movement, and rhythm — a living tapestry woven from centuries of sunlight, wind, and rain.

Come to the uninhabited Lut Desert to watch the sky full of stars and the rising moon
About 100 kilometers away from Kerman, there is Iran's only natural heritage [Lut Desert🏜️]. This is the hottest area on earth. Kaluts are unique wind-blown structures.
🏜️Why did you include the Lut Desert in your itinerary?
The desert is still in a very primitive and wild state. It is an undeveloped no-man’s land, full of mystery... Let’s share the unforgettable experience of the desert:
🚶Desert Hiking: Walk among the sand dunes, feel the tranquility and magnificence of the desert, and play in the sand!
🚜Desert off-roading: Driving a four-wheel drive vehicle through the sand dunes, experiencing speed and passion, it is very exciting, and the louder everyone shouts, the more they show off their skills...
🍢Desert barbecue dinner: Enjoying a barbecue dinner in the desert is an excellent and unforgettable experience. The ingredients and all equipment are brought into the depths of the desert with the off-road vehicle; picnic, fire, lighting, table setting, barbecue, outdoor atmosphere Feeling amazing!
🎑Desert Moon Viewing: Enjoy delicious food under the stars, watch the red moon rising slowly at one end of the desert, and quietly appreciate the whole process of the moon rising.
👗Outfit suggestions: Bring two pairs of shoes and wear a sportswear or flowing skirt for easy walking
‼ ️Tips for travel: Bring a power bank; bring enough water.
🌱Essay:
Appreciating the night view of the desert is the most unforgettable memory of our trip to Iran. Although I have seen the sunrise and sunset countless times, watching the red moon rise in the desert is indeed my first experience.
Perhaps it is because in this mysterious country, we had no GPS signal at all during the day and night in the desert. We left the Internet on our mobile phones for the first time in a long time and completely left our body and mind to the nature of the wild desert.
The charming night in the desert🌃, as if in the endless reincarnation of day and night, took me through countless nights and returned to the world of Arabian Nights🕌
